VA Gov to Ban Firearms at Capitol — Says Gun Owners Could Turn Rally Into Next Charlottesville
By Pluralist | Jan 15, 2020
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam plans to declare an emergency Wednesday ban on all weapons, including guns, from Capitol Square ahead of a massive rally planned next week over gun rights.
Two anonymous state officials who were briefed on the plans told The Associated Press Tuesday that Northam, a Democrat, seeks to avoid the deadly violence that broke out at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017. Northam plans to hold a news conference Wednesday to announce decision, which is based on credible threats of potential violence and extremism, one of the officials said.
The governor will also ban items like helmets and shields, which some white nationalists carried at the Charlottesville rally, The AP reported. It is not known how long the temporary ban will be in effect.

Attendees should carry posters of Northam in blackface and some showing the other two rotten Democrats .
